Are there different types of migraine?
The two most prevalent types of migraine headache are migraines with aura and migraine without aura, the latter of the two being more common. What is a migraine aura? Most often a migraine aura consists of visual disturbances such as flashing lights, visual distortion, and spots before the eyes. Is it a migraine or sinus headache? Migraine headaches are often confused with sinus headaches because migraine pain often occurs in the sinus region. If your headache is caused by sinus blockage, such as an infection, you will probably have a fever or nasal discharge.
